密菴和尚語錄 1.138

1.138

街坊納疏上堂，僧問：「寶山既到莫空歸，如何是徑山寶？」師云：「有眼者見。」進云：「圓陀陀光爍爍，遮邊那邊無不著。」師云：「海神知貴不知價，留與人間光照夜。」進云：「和尚還知麼？」師云：「老僧若知，即說似上座。」師乃云：「去年第一會水陸街坊，今年羅漢第一會裏納疏，識得去年人，便是今年事，今年與去年，非新亦非故。攂鼓共證明，眉毛俱卓竪，北欝打三更，西瞿日未暮。其施汝者不名福田；供養汝者墮三惡道。還會麼？行到水窮處，坐看雲起時。」復舉：「僧問趙州：『如何是不錯底路？』州云：『明心見性是不錯底路。』」師云：「趙州眼觀東南意在西北，大似狐狸戀窟，有甚快活處？忽有問徑山：『如何是不錯底路？』只向他道：家家門裏透長安。」

Ascending the hall for the city ward's presentation of the register, a monk asked: "Having arrived at the treasure mountain, one must not return empty-handed. What is the treasure of Jingshan?"
The Master said: "Those with eyes see it."
The monk continued: "Perfectly round and brilliantly radiant, on this side and that side it touches everywhere."
The Master said: "The sea god knows its value, but does not know its price; it is left to the human world to illumine the night with light."
The monk continued: "Do you know it, Venerable Sir?"
The Master said: "If this old monk knew, I would explain it to you, elder."
The Master then said: "Last year was the first assembly for the city ward's Water and Land Retreat; this year, the register is presented in the first assembly of the Arhats. If you recognize the person from last year, then that is the matter of this year. Between this year and last year, it is neither new nor old. The drums roll together in testimony; everyone's eyebrows bristle upright. In Uttarakuru it strikes the third watch; in Aparagodānīya the sun has not yet set. Those who make donations to you are not called fields of merit; those who offer support to you fall into the three evil paths. Do you understand? 'Walking to where the water ends, sitting to watch when the clouds arise.'"
He also cited: "A monk asked Zhaozhou, 'What is the path that is not mistaken?' Zhaozhou said, 'Illuminating the mind and seeing one's nature is the path that is not mistaken.'"
The Master said: "Zhaozhou's eyes looked to the southeast while his intention lay in the northwest; it was very much like a fox clinging to its burrow—what delight is there in that? If someone were suddenly to ask Jingshan, 'What is the path that is not mistaken?', I would simply say to him: 'Every household's gate leads through to Chang'an.'"
